Chivas & Merlot - Albuquerque, NM Pet Photography

These are 2 of my 4 troubles...

They prefer artificial christmas trees and toys that aren't theirs
One snores and farts constantly
The other is afraid of cell phones and the crockpot

They both love us all unconditionally...
and we're not sure what we would do without them either.

I can't imagine anyone would EVER get any entertainment out of some of the names we call these dogs. If they only knew...I might feel bad!

Girlfriends - Albuquerque, NM Photographer

These gals are such close friends it's awesome. The power of girlfriends in unmistakable!

They organized these photos for Janene's birthday,
so we hit nob hill and had some fun on a Saturday afternoon.

Thanks gal for letting me capture your friendship...
I had a blast!

Happy Birthday Janene!

Jen and Mike - Albuquerque, NM Maternity Photographer

I remember being at this stage: heck, it was less than a year ago!
I hurt, ached and complained all the time. plus, I was huge.

Jen looks FABULOUS...and Mike sportingly has a matching belly (or at least Jen says so).

I personally cannot wait to see baby Tyler. cannot. wait.
I'm counting down actually!

I bet you'll see him here too when he decides to make his arrival...

The Petersons - Albuquerque, NM Family Photography

I met Jessica and Jason over 7 years ago.
My husband and Jason have been friends for ages.
At that time, they had 1 baby girl...only a week old.

Flash forward to now:
They have 3 girls (eek!),
We have 1 little girl of our own.

It's great to see our kiddos grow together.
I'm so glad I got the opportunity to capture you guys my way :0)

Not quite legal yet...and I could careless!

Here is my bro (older in age but not maturity) and his girl.
I call her my sister-in-law even though it's not quite legal. she calls me her sister-in-law too.
It's love. really. I couldn't be any happier with these two together.
She's already part of the family.

I know she's part of our happy ever after :0)

The Ps - Albuquerque, NM Children's Photographer

Wow. Right?

We planned a shoot for Miss Elora's 18 month milestone...but I wound up getting such great shots of all 3 P. kids...and honestly, who wouldn't?

During our time I learned more of Elora's vocab too...
"un shish" means fish!

These guys are total cuties and I must admit, their mom is a total sweetie too :0)

Matt & Adrienne - Albuquerque, NM Couples Photography

This couple is so. in. love.
It's quite adorable actually.
We're thrilled to have them in our lives as much as we do.

The 4 of us have some serious game nights, complete with pizza and beers :0)
Normally I'm the only one who ends up with pulled muscles from Wii bowling...
and I'm not even competitive!







These are our amazing friends, Adrienne and Matt.
Their furbabies are Cooper "the pooper" and little Maya.

Anticipation - Albuquerque, NM Maternity Photographer

Have you ever been to a rockin' baby shower...complete with a keg, jello shots, fabulous BBQ and loads of fun people?!?
I hadn't...but LOVED it!
I even took to calling it a BabyQ!

In honor of Tyler, who should be making his debut in early January, one was thrown.

Congrats Jen and Mike...we cannot wait to see how handsome he is!
